Where are the worktrees stored?

By default, this skill creates and manages all worktrees within a dedicated '.worktrees/' directory in your project root to keep your workspace organized and easy to ignore.

Why use a worktree instead of just switching branches?

Worktrees allow you to have multiple branches checked out in separate directories simultaneously, meaning you don't have to stash or commit unfinished work just to review a PR or fix a bug in another branch.

Does this skill handle environment variables?

Yes, the manager script automatically copies .env, .env.local, and .env.test files from your main repository to the new worktree to ensure your environment is ready to run immediately.

How do I clean up finished worktrees?

You can use the 'cleanup' command which interactively lists inactive worktrees and allows you to safely remove them and their associated directories after your work is merged.

Developer Tools

Manages isolated Git worktrees for parallel feature development and seamless code reviews without branch switching overhead.

The Git Worktree Manager skill simplifies the complexity of handling multiple branches simultaneously by leveraging Git's worktree feature within Claude Code. It provides a robust, script-based interface to create, switch, and clean up isolated development environments while automatically handling critical configuration tasks like copying environment variables and managing gitignore files. This tool is essential for developers who need to jump between feature development and pull request reviews without disrupting their current working state, stashing changes, or losing context.

Key Features

01Automatic environment variable synchronization (.env files) from the main repository

02Safe interactive cleanup of inactive worktrees with confirmation prompts

03Simplified switching between parallel development environments via CLI

04Create isolated worktrees from main with automatic branch naming

050 GitHub stars

06Automatic .gitignore management for the dedicated .worktrees directory

Use Cases

01Switching contexts rapidly between urgent bug fixes and long-term feature branches

02Developing multiple features in parallel with separate, live working directories

03Performing isolated code reviews without interrupting current feature work
